Columbo has to solve a crime at the embassy of a middle-east nation. The culture there is different, and the main suspects have diplomatic immunity. Also, to complicate matters, there is a student demonstration outside the gates, and the king is visiting the embassy. However, Columbo decides to investigate the matter in his own persistent way.

Hi there. I just saw this movie, and while it is great, like all Columbo shows, I'd like to point out that Sal Mineo is only in the first 25 minutes or so of this movie... just in case someone else, like me, happens to watching to see him. I found myself disappointed.
Otherwise, great movie. I could have done without the non-Arabs acting like Arabs, it was pretty transparent (though Mineo pulled it off quite well). If you happen to be watching for Columbo or Elizondo, they do not disappoint.
